In the early twentieth century, an American woman named Emily Post wrote a book on etiquette.
This book explained the proper behavior Americans should follow in many different social
(23)______, from birthday parties to funerals. But in modern society, it is not simply to know the
proper rules for behavior in your own country. It is necessary for people (24)______ work or travel
abroad to understand the rules of etiquette in other cultures as well.
Cultural (25)______ can be found in such simple processes as giving or receiving a gift. In
Western cultures, a gift can be given to the receiver with relatively little ceremony. When a gift is
offered, the receiver usually takes the gift and expresses his or her thanks. (26)______, in some
Asian countries, the act of gift-giving may appear confusing to Westerners. In Chinese culture,
both the giver and receiver understand that the receiver will typically refuse to take the gift several
times before he or she finally accepts it. In addition, to (27)______ respect for the receiver, it is
common in several Asian cultures to use both hands when offering a gift to another person.

Different cultures follow their own special customs when a child's baby teeth fall out. In
Korea, for example, they have the custom of throwing lost teeth up on the roof of a house.
According to tradition, a magpie will come and take the tooth. Later, the magpie will return with a
new tooth for the child. In other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam, children follow a
similar tradition of throwing their lost teeth onto the roofs of houses.
Birds aren't the only animals thought to take lost teeth. In Mexico and Spain, tradition says a
mouse takes a lost tooth and leaves some money. However, in Mongolia, dogs are responsible for
taking teeth away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture and are considered guardian
angels of the people. Tradition says that the new tooth will grow good and strong if the baby tooth
is fed to a guardian angel. Accordingly, parents in Mongolia will put their child's lost tooth in a
piece of meat and feed it to a dog.
The idea of giving lost teeth to an angel or fairy is also a tradition in the West. Many children
in Western countries count on the Tooth Fairy to leave money or presents in exchange for a tooth.
The exact origins of the Tooth Fairy are a mystery, although the story probably began in England
or Ireland centuries ago. According to tradition, a child puts a lost tooth under his or her pillow
before going to bed. In the wee hours, while the child is sleeping, the Tooth Fairy takes the tooth
and leaves something else under the pillow. In France, the Tooth Fairy leaves a small gift. In the
United States, however, the Tooth Fairy usually leaves money. These days, the rate is $1 to $5 per
tooth, adding up to a lot of money from the Tooth Fairy!

Earth is richly supplied with different types of living organisms which co-exist in their
environments, forming complex, interrelated communities. Living organisms depend on one
another for nutrients, shelter, and other benefits. The extinction of one species can set off a chain
reaction that affects many other species, particularly if the loss occurs near the bottom of the food
chain. For example, the extinction of a particular insect or plant might seem inconsequential.
However, there may be fish or small animals that depend on that resource for foodstuffs. The loss
can threaten the survival of these creatures and larger predators that prey upon them. Extinction
can have a ripple effect that spreads throughout nature.
In addition to its biological consequences, extinction poses a moral dilemma for humans, the
only species capable of saving the others. The presence of humans on the planet has affected all
other life forms, particularly plants and animals. Human lifestyles have proven to be incompatible
with the survival of some other species. Purposeful efforts have been made to eliminate animals
that prey on people, livestock, crops, or pose any threat to human livelihoods. Some wild animals
have been decimated by human desire for meat, hides, fur, or other body parts with commercial
value. Likewise, demand for land, water, and other natural resources has left many wild plants and
animals with little to no suitable habitat. Humans have also affected nature by introducing non-
native species to local areas and producing pollutants having a negative impact on the
environment. The combination of these human-related effects and natural obstacles such as disease
or low birthrates has proven to be too much for some species to overcome. They have no chance
of survival without human help.
As a result, societies have difficult choices to make about the amount of effort and money they
are willing to spend to save imperiled species. Will people accept limits on their property rights,
recreational activities, and means of livelihood to save a plant or an animal? Should saving such
popular species as whales and dolphins take priority over saving obscure, annoying, or fearful species?
Is it the responsibility of humans to save every kind of life form from disappearing, or is extinction an
inevitable part of nature, in which the strong survive and the weak perish? These are some difficult
questions that people face as they ponder the fate of other species living on this planet.

Children all around the world love to read comic books. Maybe they like to read the kind of
comic books that come out once a month, like Spiderman or Batman, or maybe they like manga-
style comic books. That means that publishers who make comic books need to keep in touch with
the things young people like to do. One thing that many young people today are interested in is
technology, so of course kids want to read digital comic books on electronic devices.
Let's take Japanese manga as an example. There are lots of people around the world who enjoy
reading manga. However, in the past, it was difficult to find translated versions of manga in comic
bookstores. But that did not stop manga fans. Some fans who could translate Japanese into their own
language started translating manga themselves. Then they scanned the pages of manga books and
uploaded the scanned pages to the Internet with their translation. This practice has become so popular.
People in the comic book industry made up a name for it. By combining the words scan and
translation, they call it "scanlation", and it is a big problem today. The people who do scanlation
usually share their manga for free, so readers do not buy manga books. Writers, artists, and publishers
all end up losing money because of scanlation. Another problem is piracy in the comic book industry.
Illegal copies of old and brand new comics alike have been hurting comic book sales.
Despite the progress made in converting comics to digital formats, hardcopy comic books
are still by far the most popular format among fans. In the meantime, comic book publishers and
stores will just have to keep an eye on their buyers' habits. As the popularity of digital books for e-
readers and tablets grows, the popularity of digital comic books will grow as well.

A. The need for digital comic books
B. Children's most favourite type of books
C. Problems in the book industry
D. The manga industry in Japan
Question 29. The word "they" in paragraph 1 refers to ______.
A. children B. comic books C. publishers D. things
Question 30. According to paragraph 1, Spiderman is the name of ______.
A. a TV programme B. a comic book C. an electronic device D. a child
Question 31. According to paragraph 2, the practice of "scanlation" mostly involves ______.
A. selling translated manga books
B. scanning and translating manga books
C. scanning uploaded manga books
D. translating uploaded manga books

Question 32. According to the passage, in the past, some manga fans who knew Japanese
translated manga because ______.
A. it was enjoyable to translate Japanese books
B. they wanted to make a name for themselves
C. it was difficult to buy translated manga books
D. they wanted to read manga for free
Question 33. According to paragraph 2, who could benefit from scanlation?
A. Readers B. Publishers C. Writers D. Artists
Question 34. The word "piracy" in paragraph 2 probably means the act of ______.
A. controlling the production of a book B. hurting the sale of illegal comic books
C. copying and using a book illegally D. advertising a book without permission
The oceans are so vast and deep that until fairly recently, it was widely assumed that no matter
how much trash and chemicals humans dumped into them, the effects would be negligible. Proponents
of dumping in the oceans even had a catchphrase: "The solution to pollution is dilution."
Today, we need look no further than the New Jersey-size dead zone that forms each summer
in the Mississippi River Delta, or the thousand-mile-wide swath of decomposing plastic in the
northern Pacific Ocean to see that this "dilution" policy has helped place a once flourishing ocean
ecosystem on the brink of collapse.
There is evidence that the oceans have suffered at the hands of mankind for millennia. But recent
studies show that degradation, particularly of shoreline areas, has accelerated dramatically in the past
three centuries as industrial discharge and run-off from farms and coastal cities have increased.
Pollution is the introduction of harmful contaminants that are outside the norm for a given
ecosystem. Common man-made pollutants reaching the oceans include pesticides, herbicides,
chemical fertilizers, detergents, oil, sewage, plastics, and other solids. Many of these pollutants
collect at the ocean's depths, where they are consumed by small marine organisms and introduced
into the global food chain.
Many ocean pollutants are released into the environment far upstream from coastlines.
Nitrogen-rich fertilizers applied by farmers inland, for example, end up in local streams, rivers,
and groundwater and are eventually deposited in estuaries, bays, and deltas. These excess nutrients
can spawn massive blooms of algae that rob the water of oxygen, leaving areas where little or no
marine life can exist.
Solid wastes like bags, foam, and other items dumped into the oceans from land or by ships
at sea are frequently consumed, with often fatal effects, by marine mammals, fish, and birds that
mistake them for food. Discarded fishing nets drift for many years, ensnaring fish and mammals.
In certain regions, ocean currents corral trillions of decomposing plastic items and other trash into
gigantic, swirling garbage patches. One in the North Pacific, known as the Pacific Trash Vortex, is
estimated to be the size of Texas.
Pollution is not always physical. In large bodies of water, sound waves can carry undiminished
for miles. The increased presence of loud or persistent sounds from ships, sonar devices, oil rigs, and
even from natural sources like earthquakes can disrupt the migration, communication, and
reproduction patterns of many marine animals, particularly aquatic mammals like whales and dolphins.

Most weddings in Japan start with a religious ceremony in which usually only family members
attend. Afterwards, a banquet is customarily held to which many people, including friends and
colleagues, are invited. To celebrate the happy occasion, guests give the bride and groom goshuugi
– gift money in special envelopes. Goshuugi from friends is usually 20,000 yen or 30,000 yen.
A typical Japanese wedding party starts when the bride and groom enter the banquet hall
together, and take their seats on a slightly raised platform facing their guests. Invited guests are
seated closer to the bride and groom, with family and relatives seated further in back. The bride's
and groom's bosses usually give congratulatory speeches then their friends sing in celebration.
Other wedding highlights include a candle ceremony where the couple holds a candle while
greeting their guests at each table, and the cutting of the wedding cake. Afterwards, the bride and
groom thank their parents with a speech, then leave to end the party.
In the past, dishes that supposedly brought good fortune, such as prawns and sea breams,
were served in abundance. So much of the food was ordered that guests ended up taking the
surplus home. Today, the majority of the weddings serve just enough for everyone. Additionally,
before leaving, guests would traditionally receive souvenir gifts called hikidemono.
Many wedding ceremonies take place at wedding halls or hotels. Rough estimates show that
it costs about 3 million yen to host a wedding party for 80 guests. During Japan's economic
bubble, overseas weddings and flamboyant receptions with special effects, such as smoke
machines and having the bride and groom fly in on gondolas, were very popular. But these days,
couples choose to tie the knot in various ways, from not having any ceremony to having a modest
affair, or still going all out.

Humans are bringing about another global-scale change in the atmosphere: the increase in
what are called greenhouse gases. Like glass in a greenhouse, these gases admit the Sun's light but
tend to reflect back downward the heat that is radiated from the ground below, trapping heat in the
Earth's atmosphere. This process is known as the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide is the most
significant of these gases – there is 25 percent more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today than
there was a century ago, the result of our burning coal and fuels derived from oil. Methane, nitrous
oxide, and CFCs are greenhouse gases as well.
Scientists predict that increases in these gases in the atmosphere will make the Earth a
warmer place. They expect a global rise in average temperature somewhere between 1.0 and 3.5
degrees Celsius in the next century. Average temperatures have in fact been rising and the years
from 1987 to 1997 were the warmest years on record. Some scientists are reluctant to say that
global warming has actually begun because climate naturally varies from year to year and decade
to decade, and it takes many years of records to be sure of a fundamental change. There is little
disagreement, though, that global warming is looming.
Global warming will have different effects in different regions. A warmed world is expected
to have more extreme weather, with more rain during wet periods, longer droughts, and more
powerful storms. Although the effects of future climate changes are unknown, some predict that
exaggerated weather conditions may translate into better agricultural yields in areas such as the
western United States, where temperature and rainfall are expected to increase, while dramatic
decreases in rainfall may lead to severe droughts and plunging agricultural yields in parts of
Africa, for example.
Warmer temperatures are expected to partially melt the polar ice caps, leading to a projected
sea level rise of 50 centimeters by the year 2050. A sea level rise of this magnitude would flood
coastal cities, force people to abandon low-lying islands, and completely inundate coastal
wetlands. Diseases like malaria, which at present are primarily found in the tropics, may become
more common in the regions of the globe between the tropics and the polar regions, called the
temperate zones. For many of the world's plant species, and for animal species that are not easily
able to shift their territories as their habitat grows warmer, climate change may bring extinction.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34.
When naming a child, some parents seem to choose a name based simply on their personal
preference. In other families, grandparents or professional name-makers come up with a child's
name. In some cases, the time of a child's birth influences how the child's name is determined.
In many European cultures, names are typically chosen by parents. Parents' choice for their
child's name may be based on names of their relatives or ancestors. For example, in Italy, children
are traditionally named after their grandparents. The parents generally use the father's parents'
names first. If they have more children, then they will use the mother's parents' names. Similarly,
some people in Eastern Europe name their children after relatives who have died. This tradition is
seen as a means to protect the child from the Angel of Death.
Traditionally in some Asian countries, a child's grandfather or a fortune-teller chooses the
child's name. In contrast to the tradition of naming children after relatives, the child's name is
chosen to influence the child's character. For example, names may be based on a connection to
certain elements such as fire, water, earth, wood, or metal. Or the name might include a written
character meaning beauty, strength, or kindness.
In certain African cultures, when a child is born plays a large part in determining the child's
name. In Ghana's Akan culture, the day a child is born determines the child's name. But each day
has different names for boys and girls. For instance, a boy born on Friday is named Kofi, whereas
a girl born on the same day is named Afua. Both Kofi and Afua mean "wanderer" or "explorer."
Children with these names are seen as travelers.
No matter where the name comes from, a child's name is the first gift in life. Whether the
name is chosen according to preference or dictated by tradition, it reflects something about a
child's culture. For that reason, all names should be treasured and respected.
Question 28. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The choice of name for a child in Asia
B. The history of child naming around the world
C. The practice of child naming in Europe
D. The tradition of child naming in different cultures
Question 29. According to the passage, in many European cultures, names are typically selected
by ______.
A. ancestors B. parents C. relatives D. grandparents
Question 30. The word "means" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. sign B. symbol C. route D. way

Question 31. What is a common belief in some Asian countries concerning the tradition of naming
a child?
A. A child's name must include a written character meaning beauty, strength, or kindness.
B. The choice of a child's name is believed to have an impact on his or her personality.
C. A child's name shouldn't be connected with certain elements of nature.
D. The choice of a child's name should be based on names of his or her relatives.
Question 32. Which of the following about the tradition of child naming in African countries is
NOT true according to the passage?
A. The arrival time of a child is an important factor in deciding his or her name.
B. Children born on Friday are normally given names meaning traveling.
C. Children receive the same name if they are born on the same day.
D. No matter how a child's name is chosen, it is related to his or her culture.

Tropical rainforests are being destroyed and badly degraded at an unsustainable rate. Some
scientists estimate that in the early 1990s tropical forests were being destroyed at a rate of
approximately 28 hectares a minute, or about 14 million hectares each year – an area about the size
of the state of Wisconsin. This figure marked a decrease since the 1980s, when approximately 16
million hectares were destroyed each year, largely due to a reported decline of deforestation in the
Amazon River Basin in the early 1990s. However, satellite images indicate that rates may have
rebounded in the late 1990s as burning in the Amazon increased again. Over the past three
decades alone, about 5 million square kilometers – or 20 percent of the world's tropical forests –
have been cleared. During this time, deforestation in tropical Asia reached almost 30 percent. High
rates of deforestation are inevitably followed by alarming rates of plant and animal extinction
because many rainforest species cannot survive outside their pristine rainforest habitat. Some
scientists estimate that dozens of rainforest species are becoming extinct every day.
Causes of deforestation vary from location to location, but certain patterns tend to be consistent
across all forests. Logging companies in search of valuable rainforest hardwoods, or, less often, oil
companies in search of petroleum, are often the first to enter a remote area of rainforest. Some logged
forests, if left alone, can regenerate in a few decades. But typically, they are not left alone – the roads
built by logging companies often provide access for landless farmers to enter a new area, as well as a
means to transport agricultural crops to market. For every 1 kilometer of new roads built through a
forested area, 4 to 24 square kilometers are deforested and colonized.
Once the loggers leave the land, a typical cycle of destruction ensues. When the landless
farmers arrive, they clear the land for planting. Poor rainforest soils produce a low crop yield,
especially after a couple of years. At that point, the farmers often sell their lands to cattle ranchers
or large plantation owners. After nutrients have been exhausted and soils compacted by cattle,
lands are then abandoned and often laid to waste. Rainforest does not readily regenerate on these
lands without human intervention. Meanwhile, the colonist farmers and cattle ranchers move to a
new piece of land made accessible by logging roads, where the cycle of deforestation begins again.

A. The size of tropical rainforest loss
B. Causes and effects of rainforest destruction

C. It was greater in the 1980s than in the early 1990s.

owners. After nutrients have been exhausted and soils compacted by cattle, lands are then abandoned
and often laid to waste. Rainforest does not readily regenerate on these lands

without human intervention. Meanwhile, the colonist farmers and cattle ranchers move to a new
piece of land made accessible by logging roads, where the cycle of deforestation begins again.

word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 31 to 35.
Urban development is having a direct impact on the weather in many cities worldwide. It has been noticed that
the difference (31)______ temperature is usually greater at night and the phenomenon
occurs in both winter and summer. Experts agree that this is due to urban development, when open green spaces are
replaced with asphalt roads and tall brick or concrete buildings. These materials retain heat generated by the Sun
and release it through the night. In Atlanta, in the US, this has even led to thunderstorms (32)______ occur in the
morning rather than, as is more common, in the afternoon.
Large cities around the world are adopting strategies to combat this issue (33)______ it is not
uncommon to find plants growing on top of roofs or down the walls of large buildings. In Singapore, the government

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
A letter of application is a sales letter in which you are both salesperson and product, for the
purpose of an application is to attract an employer's attention and persuade him or her to grant
you an interview. To do this, the letter presents what you can offer the employer, rather than what
you want from the job.
Like a résumé, the letter of application is a sample of your work and an opportunity to demonstrate your
skills and personality. If it is written with flair and understanding and prepared with professional care, it is
likely to be very effective. While the résumé must be factual, objective, and brief, the letter is your chance to
interpret and expand. It should state explicitly how your background relates to the specific job, and it should
emphasise your strongest and most relevant characteristics. The letter should demonstrate that you know both
yourself and the company.
The letter of application must communicate your ambition and enthusiasm. Yet it must be
modest. It should be neither aggressive nor compliant: neither pat yourself on the back nor ask for
sympathy. It should never express dissatisfaction with the present or former job or employer. And you
should avoid discussing your reasons for leaving your last job.
Finally, it is best that you not broach the subject on salary. Indeed, even if a job advertisement requires
that you mention your salary requirements, it is advisable simply to call them "negotiable." However, when you
go on an interview, you should be prepared to mention a salary range. For this reason, you should investigate
both your field and, if possible, the particular company. You don't want to ask for less than you deserve or more
than is reasonable.
(Adapted from "Select Readings - Intermediate" by Linda Lee and Erik Gundersen)

Henry is the undisputed star of Dronfield School near Sheffield. Whatever the achievements of other
members of the comprehensive school, it is Henry, with his soulful eyes and glossy hair, who has hogged the
limelight, appearing on television in Britain and abroad. Yet despite all the public adulation, Henry stirs up no
envy or resentment among the 2000 students – in fact, they all adore him. The dog, who first arrived six months
ago, is a super dog, who has improved students' behaviour and encouraged more students to focus on their
academic achievement.
Andrew Wainwright, a student at Dronfield School, says there is something magical and calming about being able to
interact with Henry during his time at the school's catch-up classes, and that if he falls behind, that opportunity will be
denied. Even doubting staff have finally been won round. Perhaps that is because Henry, who lies on the floor during staff
meetings, has also had a calming effect on them.
It was Andrew's teacher, Wendy Brown and the school counsellor, Julie Smart, who first proposed buying a
school dog. "Julie and I were talking one day about how looking after dogs can positively affect children's conduct,"
says Brown. "We did some research and discovered that the presence of pets has been shown to be therapeutic. A
number of studies have shown that animals improve recovery after surgery or illness and have a calming influence
on people in a lot of settings. Some of my kids can be a handful and some of the children Julie counsels have terrible
problems."
Could the school dog become a craze? Other schools such as the Mulberry Bush, a primary school for
children with behavioural problems, have stepped forward to point out they already have one. Rosie
Johnston, a Mulberry staff member has been bringing her golden retriever, Muskoka, into school for three
years. Apart from being a calming influence, Muskoka even plays his part in literacy lessons. Children at
the school can be too shy to read to adults so they read to Muskoka. "Their anxiety about mispronouncing
something or getting the words in the wrong order is reduced when they read to him," says Johnston.
Psychologist Dr Deborah Wells from Queen's University Belfast specialises in animal-human
interaction. She believes that the underlying key to the Henry effect is that dogs offer unconditional love
and that cheers up adults and children and helps with self-esteem. But traditionalist Chris Woodhead, the
former chief inspector of schools says, "I don't see why a teacher cannot create a positive learning
environment through the subject they teach and their personality. Dogs strike me as a bit of a publicity
stunt. It's the kind of sentimental story journalists love." Despite this sentiment, Henry remains as
popular as ever.
(Adapted from "Ready for Advanced" by Roy Norris and Amanda French with Miles Hordern)

Question 44: The word "adulation" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. difficult to control B. reluctant to explore

Question 46: Which of the following is mentioned in paragraph 3 as a potential impact of keeping a pet?
A. A stronger tendency to misbehave B. Better recovery from illness
C. A greater desire to influence others D. Long-term changes in conduct

A. a school dog B. a craze
C. a Mulberry staff member D. a primary school

There are many African tribes but, for many people, the Masai are the most well-known.
They are famous for their bright red clothing and their ceremonies with lots of music and
dancing. Probably, one of the most colorful ceremonies is the festival of "Eunoto," when the
teenage boys of the Masai become men.
Eunoto lasts for many days and Masai people travel across the region to get to a special place near the
border between Kenya and Tanzania. The teenage boys who travel with them are called "warriors." This is a
traditional name from the past when young men fought with other tribes.
At the beginning of the ceremony, the teenagers paint their bodies while their mothers start to build a
place called the "Osingira," a sacred room in the middle of the celebrations. Later, the senior elders from
different tribes will sit inside this place and, at different times, the boys go inside to meet them. Later in the
day, the boys run around the Osingira, going faster and faster each time.
The teenagers also have to alter their appearance at Eunoto. Masai boys' hair is very long before the
ritual but they have to cut it off. In Masai culture, hair is an important symbol. For example, when a baby
grows into an infant, the mother cuts the child's hair and gives the child a name. At a Masai wedding, the
hair of the bride is also cut off as she becomes a woman. And so, at Eunoto, the teenage boy's mother cuts
his hair off at sunrise.
On the final day, the teenagers meet the senior elders one more time. They get this advice: "Now you
are men, use your heads and knowledge." Then, people start to travel back to their homes and lands. The
teenagers are no longer warriors. They are adult men and now they will get married and have children.
Later in life, they will be the leaders of their communities.

In this modern world where closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras are everywhere and
smartphones in every pocket, the routine filming of everyday life is becoming pervasive. A number of
countries are rolling out body cams for police officers; other public-facing agencies such as schools,
councils and hospitals are also experimenting with cameras for their employees. Private citizens are
getting in on the act too: cyclists increasingly wear headcams as a deterrent to aggressive drivers. As
camera technology gets smaller and cheaper, it isn't hard to envisage a future where we're all filming
everything all the time, in every direction.
Would that be a good thing? There are some obvious potential upsides. If people know they are on camera,
especially when at work or using public services, they are surely less likely to misbehave. The available evidence
suggests that it discourages behaviours such as vandalism. Another upside is that it would be harder to get
away with crimes or to evade blame for accidents.
But a world on camera could have subtle negative effects. The deluge of data we pour into the hands of Google,
Facebook and others has already proved a mixed blessing. Those companies would
no doubt be willing to upload and curate our body-cam data for free, but at what cost to privacy
and freedom of choice?
Body-cam data could also create a legal minefield. Disputes over the veracity and interpretation of police footage have
already surfaced. Eventually, events not caught on camera could be treated as if they didn't happen. Alternatively, footage
could be faked or doctored to dodge blame or incriminate others.
Of course, there's always the argument that if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to
fear. But most people have done something embarrassing, or even illegal, that they regret and would
prefer they hadn't been caught on film. People already censor their social media feeds – or avoid doing
anything incriminating in public – for fear of damaging their reputation. Would ubiquitous body cams
have a further chilling effect on our freedom?
The always-on-camera world could even threaten some of the attributes that make us human. We are natural
gossips and backbiters, and while those might not be desirable behaviours, they oil the wheels of our social
interactions. Once people assume they are being filmed, they are likely to clam up.
The argument in relation to body-cam ownership is a bit like that for guns: once you go past a critical
threshold, almost everyone will feel they need one as an insurance policy. We are nowhere near that point yet – but
we should think hard about whether we really want to say "lights, body cam, action."

Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the various forms
of body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. It is important to note,
however, that body language varies in different cultures. Take for example, eye movement. In
the USA a child is expected to look directly at a parent or teacher who is scolding him/her. In
other cultures the opposite is true. Looking directly at a teacher or parent in such a situation is
considered a sign of disrespect.
Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is distance. In North
America people don't generally stand as close to each other as in South America. Two North

Americans who don't know each other well will keep a distance of four feet between them,
whereas South Americans in the same situation will stand two to three feet apart. North
Americans will stand closer than two feet apart only if they are having a confidential
conversation or if there is intimacy between them.
Gestures are often used to communicate. We point a finger, raise an eyebrow, wave an arm – or move any
other part of the body – to show what we want to say. However, this does not mean that people all over the
world use the same gestures to express the same meanings. Very often we find that the same gestures can
communicate different meanings, depending on the country. An example of a gesture that could be
misinterpreted is sticking out the tongue. In many cultures it is a sign of making a mistake, but in some places
it communicates ridicule.
The dangers of misunderstanding one another are great. Obviously, it is not enough to learn
the language of another culture. You must also learn its non-verbal signals if you want to
communicate successfully.
(Adapted from "Reading Academic English" by Judy Rapoport, Ronit Broder and Sarah Feingold)

A. The significance of non-verbal signals in America B.
Misunderstandings in communication

another culture, it is advisable for a person ______.

Question 34: Which form of body language is NOT mentioned in the passage?

The green building movement, started in the 1970s as a way to reduce environmental destruction, is changing
the way buildings are constructed. In the early years, green builders were a small minority, and their goals of
reducing the environmental impact of buildings were considered unrealistic. Now, however, the movement is
growing, as builders have been able to take advantage of new technology.
Green builders try to make use of recycled materials, which means less waste in dumps.
Also, they reduce environmental impact by reducing the energy requirements of a building. One
way is to provide an alternative, non-polluting source of energy. First, with solar panels, it is
possible to produce electricity from the rays of the sun. Once installed, they provide energy at no
cost and with no pollution.
Another solution is to reduce the amount of energy required in a building. It is possible to cut electricity use
noticeably by improving natural lighting and installing low-energy light bulbs. To reduce the amount of fuel needed
for heating or cooling, builders also add insulation to the walls so

that the building stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
One example of this advanced design is the Genzyme Center of Cambridge, the most
environmentally responsible office building in America. Every aspect of the design and building had
to consider two things: the need for a safe and pleasant workplace for employees and the need to
lessen the negative environmental impact. 75 percent of the building materials were recycled
materials, and the energy use has been reduced by 43 percent and water use by 32 percent,
compared with other buildings of the same size.
In other parts of the world, several large-scale projects have recently been developed according
to green building principles. One of these is in Vauban, Germany, in an area that was once the site of
army housing. The site has been completely rebuilt with houses requiring 30 percent less energy
than conventional ones. These houses, heated by special non-polluting systems, are also equipped
with solar panels.
A larger project is under way in China. The first phase of this project will include houses for 400
families built with solar power, non-polluting bricks, and recycled wall insulation. In a second phase,
entire neighborhoods in six cities will be built. If all goes well, the Chinese government plans to copy
these ideas in new neighborhoods across China.
Green building ideas, on a small or large scale, are spreading. Individuals, companies, and governments
are beginning to see their benefits. Not only are they environmentally friendly, green buildings improve living
and working conditions and also save money in the long run.
(Adapted from "Advanced Reading Power" by Beatrice S. Mikulecky and Linda Jeffries)

Taking piano lessons and solving math puzzles on a computer significantly improve specific math skills of
elementary schoolchildren, according to a new study. The results, (31)______ were published
in the journal Neurological Research, are the latest in a series that links musical training to the
development of higher brain functions.
Researchers worked with 135 second-grade students at a school in Los Angeles after (32)______ a
pilot study with 102 students. Children that were given four months of piano training as well as
time playing (33)______ newly designed computer software scored 27 percent higher on math and
fraction tests than other children.
Piano instruction is thought to enhance the brain's "hard wiring" for spatial-temporal reasoning, or
the ability to visualise and transform objects in space and time, says Professor Gordon Shaw, who led the
study. At the same time, the computer game allows children to solve geometric and math puzzles that
boost their ability to (34)______ shapes in their mind.
The findings are significant (35)______ a grasp of proportional math and fractions is a prerequisite
to math at higher levels, and children who do not master these areas of math cannot understand
more advanced math that is critical to high-tech fields.

When we meet people for the first time, we often make decisions about them based entirely on
how they look. And of course, we too are being judged on our appearance. Undoubtedly, it's what's
inside that's important but sometimes we can send out the wrong signals and so get a negative
reaction, simply by wearing inappropriate clothing.
When selecting your clothes each day, it is therefore important to think about who you're likely to
meet, where you are going to be spending most of your time and what tasks you are likely to perform.
Clearly, on a practical level, some outfits will be more appropriate to different sorts of activity and this
will dictate your choice to an extent. However, there's no need to abandon your individual taste
completely. After all, if you dress to please somebody else's idea of what looks good, you may end up
feeling uncomfortable and not quite yourself.
Some colours bring your natural colouring to life and others can give you a washed-out
appearance. Try out new ones by all means, but remember that dressing in bright colours when you
really like subtle neutral tones or vice versa will make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. You
know deep down where your own taste boundaries lie. It may be fun to cross these sometimes, but do
take care not to go too far all at once.
Reappraising your image isn't selfish because everyone who comes into contact with you will
benefit. You'll look better and you'll feel a better person all round. And if in doubt, you only need to
read Professor Albert Mehrabian's book Silent Messages, which showed that the impact we make on
each other depends 55 percent on how we look and behave, 38 percent on how we speak, and only
seven percent on what we actually say.

While watching sports on TV, the chances are children will see professional players cheating, having tantrums,
fighting, or abusing officials. In addition, it's highly likely that children will be aware of well-known cases of
sportspeople being caught using drugs to improve their performance. The danger of all this is that it could give
children the idea that winning is all that counts and you should win at all costs. Good behaviour and fair play aren't
the message that comes across. Instead, it looks as if cheating and bad behaviour are reasonable ways of getting what
you want. This message is further bolstered by the fact that some of these sportspeople acquire enormous fame and
wealth, making it seem they are being handsomely rewarded either despite or because of their bad behaviour.
What can parents do about this? They can regard sport on television as an opportunity to discuss
attitudes and behaviour with their children. When watching sports together, if parents see a player
swearing at the referee, they can get the child's opinion on that behaviour and discuss whether a
player's skill is more important than their behaviour. Ask what the child thinks the player's
contribution to the team is. Point out that no player can win a team game on their own, so it's
important for members to work well together.
Another thing to focus on is what the commentators say. Do they frown on bad behaviour from
players, think it's amusing or even consider it's a good thing? What about the officials? If they let players
get away with a clear foul, parents can discuss with children whether this is right and what effect it has on
the game. Look too at the reactions of coaches and managers. Do they accept losing with good grace or
scowl and show a bad attitude? Parents can use this to talk about attitudes to winning and losing and to
remind children that both are part of sport.
However, what children learn from watching sports is by no means all negative and parents should make sure
they accentuate the positives too. They should emphasise to children the high reputation that well-behaved players
have, not just with their teammates but also with spectators and the media. They can focus on the contribution made
by such players during a game, discussing how valuable they are in the team. In the interviews after a game, point
out to a child that the well-behaved sportspeople don't gloat when they win or sulk when they lose. And parents can
stress how well these people conduct themselves in their personal lives and the good work they do for others when
not playing. In other words, parents should get their children to focus on the positive role models, rather than the
antics of the badly behaved but often more publicised players.

financial one is by far the most important. The costs of hosting the Olympics can (23)______
tens of billions of dollars, and it is commonplace for budgets to double or even triple. In addition to the direct costs of
hosting the Games (the opening and closing ceremonies, athletes' village, security, etc.), cities often must build
expensive new venues (24)______ lesser-known sports. Once constructed, sports venues often incur additional
maintenance costs long after the Games have ended.
While costs are the (25)______ concern for a host city, there are other factors to consider. For one,
an Olympic host city may receive substantial revenue from ticket sales, tourist spending, corporate sponsorship, and
television rights. Cities such as Los Angeles (1984) and Seoul (1988) actually made a large profit from the Games
they hosted. (26)______, hosting the Olympic Games confers prestige on a

however, that body language varies in different cultures. Take for example, eye movement. In the
USA a child is expected to look directly at a parent or teacher who is scolding him/her. In other
cultures the opposite is true. Looking directly at a teacher or parent in such a situation is
Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is distance. In North America
people don't generally stand as close to each other as in South America. Two North Americans who don't know each
other well will keep a distance of four feet between them, whereas
South Americans in the same situation will stand two to three feet apart. North Americans will
stand closer than two feet apart only if they are having a confidential conversation or if there is
intimacy between them.
Gestures are often used to communicate. We point a finger, raise an eyebrow, wave an arm – or move
any other part of the body – to show what we want to say. However, this does not mean that people all over
the world use the same gestures to express the same meanings. Very often we find that the same gestures
can communicate different meanings, depending on the country. An example of a gesture that could be
misinterpreted is sticking out the tongue. In many cultures it is a sign of making a mistake, but in some
places it communicates ridicule.
The dangers of misunderstanding one another are great. Obviously, it is not enough to learn the language of another culture. You
must also learn its non-verbal signals if you want to communicate successfully.

A. Misunderstandings in communication
B. Non-verbal communication across cultures
D. The significance of non-verbal signals in America
A. point a finger at the person B. look directly at the person

to learn only non-verbal signals of that culture

passage? A. eye movement B. gesture C. posture D. distance
Green builders try to make use of recycled materials, which means less waste in dumps. Also,
they reduce environmental impact by reducing the energy requirements of a building. One way is
to provide an alternative, non-polluting source of energy. First, with solar panels, it is possible to
produce electricity from the rays of the sun. Once installed, they provide energy at no cost and
with no pollution.
Another solution is to reduce the amount of energy required in a building. It is possible to cut
electricity use noticeably by improving natural lighting and installing low-energy light bulbs. To
reduce the amount of fuel needed for heating or cooling, builders also add insulation to the walls so
One example of this advanced design is the Genzyme Center of Cambridge, the most environmentally
responsible office building in America. Every aspect of the design and building had to

consider two things: the need for a safe and pleasant workplace for employees and the need to
materials, and the energy use has been reduced by 43 percent and water use by 32 percent,
compared with other buildings of the same size.
In other parts of the world, several large-scale projects have recently been developed
according to green building principles. One of these is in Vauban, Germany, in an area that was
once the site of army housing. The site has been completely rebuilt with houses requiring 30
percent less energy than conventional ones. These houses, heated by special non-polluting
systems, are also equipped with solar panels.
entire neighborhoods in six cities will be built. If all goes well, the Chinese government plans to copy these
ideas in new neighborhoods across China.

What can parents do about this? They can regard sport on television as an opportunity to discuss attitudes and
behaviour with their children. When watching sports together, if parents see a player swearing at the referee, they can get
the child's opinion on that behaviour and discuss whether a player's

skill is more important than their behaviour. Ask what the child thinks the player's contribution
to the team is. Point out that no player can win a team game on their own, so it's important for
members to work well together.

Another thing to focus on is what the commentators say. Do they frown on bad behaviour from players,
think it's amusing or even consider it's a good thing? What about the officials? If they let
players get away with a clear foul, parents can discuss with children whether this is right and what effect
it has on the game. Look too at the reactions of coaches and managers. Do they accept losing with good
grace or scowl and show a bad attitude? Parents can use this to talk about attitudes to winning and losing
and to remind children that both are part of sport.

Like a résumé, the letter of application is a sample of your work and an opportunity to demonstrate your skills

very effective. While the résumé must be factual, objective, and brief, the letter is

your chance to interpret and expand. It should state explicitly how your background relates to the specific
job, and it should emphasise your strongest and most relevant characteristics. The letter should
demonstrate that you know both yourself and the company.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
Tribal tourism is a relatively new type of tourism. It involves travelers going to remote destinations, staying
with local people and learning about their culture and way of life. They stay in local accommodation, share facilities
with local people, and join in with meals and celebrations. At the moment, less than one percent of holidays are
tribal tourism holidays, but this is set to change.
Tribal tourism is often compared with foreign exchange visits. However, a foreign exchange involves
staying with people who often share the same values. Tribal tourism takes visitors to places where the lifestyle
is very different from that in their home location. Those who have been on tribal holiday explain that
experiencing this lifestyle is the main attraction. They say that it offers them the chance to live in a way they
never have before.
Not everyone is convinced that tribal tourism is a good thing, and opinions are divided. The argument is about
whether or not it helps the local population, or whether it exploits them. The main problem is that, because tribal tourism
is relatively new, the long-term influences on local populations have not been studied in much detail. Where studies have
been carried out, the effects have been found to be negative.
So, is it possible to experience an exotic culture without harming it in some way? “With a bit of thought, we can
maximise the positive influences and minimise the negative”, says travel company director

Hilary Waterhouse. “The most important thing for a tribal tourist is to show respect for, learn about, and be aware of,
local customs and traditions. Always remember you're a guest.”
(Adopted from “Complete IELTS” by Rawdon Wyatt)
Question 30: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. An Old Tourist Destination B. Holidays with a Difference
C. Different Customs of a Tribe D. Peak Holiday Seasons
Question 31: The word “They” in paragraph 1 refers to ________.
A. travellers B. facilities C. local people D. remote destinations
Question 32: According to paragraph 2, what is the main attraction of tribal tourism?
A. Tourists can stay with people of the same values.
B. Tourists can interact with other foreign visitors.
C. Tourists can experience a different lifestyle.
D. Tourists can explore beauty spots in remote areas.
Question 33: The word “divided” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. similar B. important C. different D. interesting Question 34: According to Hilary
Waterhouse, the most important thing for a tribal tourist is to ________.
A. forget about negative experiences B. respect local customs and traditions C. learn about
other guests D. be accompanied by other travellers
E-waste is being produced on a scale never seen before. Computers and other electronic equipment become
obsolete in just a few years, leaving customers with little choice but to buy newer ones to keep up. Millions of tons
of computers, TVs, smartphones, and other equipment are discarded each year. In most countries, all this waste
ends up in landfills, where it poisons the environment - e-waste contains many toxic substances such as lead,
mercury, and arsenic, that leak into the ground.
Recycling is the ideal solution to the problem. E-waste contains significant amounts of valuable metals like
gold and silver that make it attractive to recycle. In theory, recycling gold from old computers is more efficient -
and less environmentally destructive - than digging it from the earth. The problem is that a large percentage of e-
waste dropped off for recycling in wealthy countries is sold an diverted to the developing world, posing an
increasing threat to the health of the people there.
To address the problem of the international trade in e-waste, 170 nations signed the 1989 Basel Convention,
an agreement requiring that developed nations notify developing nations of hazardous waste shipments coming into
their countries. Then, in 1995 the Basel Convention was modified to ban hazardous waste shipments to poor
countries completely. Although the ban hasn't taken effect, the European Union, where recycling infrastructure is
well developed, has already written it into their laws. One law holds manufacturers responsible for the sale disposal
of electronics they produce.
Companies like Creative Recycling Systems in Florida, the USA, are hoping to profit from clean e-
waste recycling. The key to their business is a huge, building-size machine able to separate electronic products
into their component materials. As the machine's steel teeth break up e-waste, all the toxic dust is removed
from the process. This machine can handle some 70,000 tons of electronics a year. Although this is only a
fraction of the total, it wouldn't take many more machines like this to process the entire USA's output of high-
tech trash.
Unfortunately, under current policies, domestic processing of e-waste is not compulsory, and while shipping
waste abroad is ethically questionable, it is still more profitable than processing it safely in the USA. Creative Recycling
Systems is hoping that the US government will soon create laws deterring people from sending e-waste overseas.

Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is in the south-east of the country. Edinburgh is situated on the
coast, and the beautiful, green Pentland hills are not far from the city centre. Castle Rock stands in the centre
of Edinburgh and is the best place for fantastic views of the city. With a population of almost half a million
people, the city is an exciting mix of traditional and modern.
The first stop for most visitors to the city is the castle on Castle Rock. It is certainly worth a visit and the area
nearby is full of shops that sell whisky and tartans to the tourists. Edinburgh's most famous street, the Royal Mile, runs
from the castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Scottish Parliament. Along the street, you can see many
interesting buildings and you can stop for a drink at a traditional, old Scottish pub.
During your visit, you should certainly take the time to see other parts of the city. Princes
Street has lovely gardens, museums and shops. The New Town is a superb area for walking with its
th
attractive 18 century houses, offices and churches. Finally, the Grassmarket is an old part of the
city, which is full of the cafés, bars and restaurants.
Edinburgh's nightlife is excellent. Clubs usually stay open until three in the morning. You can
hear live music in pubs, choose from a number of first-class cinemas or go to a “ceilidh” (a
traditional Scottish dance).
The best time to come to the city is in August. Thousands of people visit the Edinburgh Festival, the world's
biggest arts festival held every summer. With concerts, opera, theatre and art exhibitions, there is something for
everyone. For winter visitors, Hogmanay (the Scottish New Year) is also an incredible experience that you will never
forget.

The first impressions are rather menacing. Visitors must sign in and show identification before being
allowed into the building. Such tight security gives one the feeling of entering a prison or some other dangerous
place. But what a deceptive first impression! Manhattan Comprehensive Night High School may be the friendliest,
most caring institution in all of New York City. A school of last resort for many of its students, it is their best chance
to turn their lives around, and make friends in the process. Manhattan Comp, as it is called, is the first full-time
night high school in America.
High school is compulsory until the age of sixteen in America, but many students drop out, either before or after
they reach sixteen, and before receiving their high school diplomas. Until now, night education programmes for dropouts
only provided the basics and then awarded an equivalency certificate. But now, Manhattan Comp offers the total high
school experience, complete with a “lunch” break, physical education and clubs. The students receive an academic
diploma, which they say is more helpful in getting a job than an equivalency certificate. More than sixty percent of
Manhattan Comp's students go on to college.
Most of the school's 450 students have either been expelled from or dropped out of other high schools.
Some have been in two or three schools before this one. What seems to make this school work for these hard-
to- place students is the staff and, most importantly, the principal. All students call him Howard. As he walks
through the building, he greets students by name, asks about their families or jobs and jokes with them about
the lack of variety in the school cafeteria.
Most students at Manhattan Comp are between eighteen and twenty-two years old. You must be at least
seventeen to enrol. The classes run from 5 to 11 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays, with all-day enrichment programmes
on Sundays which explore topics like playwriting art and video production. School terms are ten weeks long, which gives
students the opportunity to take time off for family matters or jobs. Most students already have some academic credits
from previous schools, so instead of the normal four years in high school, they spend between six months and two years at
Manhattan Comp.

For over 300 years since its appearance in Britain in 1621, newspapers were written and read by only a tiny minority.
In 1896, a new newspaper was produced in large numbers and at such low prices that ordinary people could buy it on every
street corner, and it was an instant success. The Daily Mail, which is still running today, was the mother of the modern tabloid,
and the beginning of a whole new subculture in the British press. Today more than twice as many tabloids are sold than the so-
called “quality press” titles such as The Times or
The Guardian.
Originally, the word tabloid referred to the size and format. But today, for most people, the word tabloid
has nothing to do with shape and size. What makes a tabloid a tabloid is content, and above all, style. Tabloids
follow a special formula: they report the news, but only certain kinds. Tabloids dedicate most of their pages to
stories about celebrities. This involves photographing them in embarrassing situations, gossiping about their
private lives and generally making them look a bit silly. However, the tabloids are not simply an irritation for
celebrities; they are also a vehicle for self-promotion.
Though they have millions of devoted readers, tabloids are also widely criticised in Britain. They are
accused of being sensationalist, in bad taste, and of having no ethical standards in their reporting and
“researching” methods. They may tap celebrities' phones or even break into their houses just to get a story.
When criticised, the tabloids state that the public has a right to know about everything, but celebrities have no
rights to privacy at all.
So why does Britain, which has access to the best press agencies and the highest journalistic
standards, consume tabloids like chocolate? Maybe the reason is that we have enough news on the television,
the radio and in the quality newspapers. Tabloids are not actually about news at all; tabloids are just about
gossip. And when it comes to gossip, what matters is not what is true or what is kind, but what is entertaining
and what is funny. The more in bad taste a story is, the funnier it seems. And bad taste is what the British
tabloids have made into an art.

B. Tabloids: Too Kind to Be True

Norwich is the capital of East Anglia, an area on the east coast of England which is famous
for its natural beauty and impressive architecture. Norwich is a wonderful city to explore and is
popular with tourists all year round.
Norwich is not a city of luxurious hotels, but it has a good selection of reasonably priced places to stay in, both in the
city centre and further out. The Beeches Hotel, for example, next to the cathedral, has a beautiful Victorian garden. Comfortable
accommodations costs £65 for two nights' bed and breakfast per person. Norwich is famous for its magnificent cathedral. The
cathedral has a summer programme of music and events which is open to the general public. One event, "Fire from heaven", is
a drama and musical performance with fireworks, a laser light show and a carnival with local people dressed in colourful
costumes.
Norwich is also home to the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, a world-class collection of international
art in a building at the University of East Anglia. This is well worth a visit and there is a lovely canteen with
an excellent selection of hot and cold snacks. It also specializes in vegetarian food. In addition, the city has a
new professional theatre, the Playhouse, on the River Wensum. The city' annual international arts festival is
from 10 to 20 October.
Finally, if you fancy a complete break from the stresses of everyday life, you could hire a boat and
spend a few days cruising along the river of the famous Norfolk Broads National Park. In our
environmentally friendly age, the emphasis has moved forwards the quiet enjoyment of nature and wildlife.
You can buy hire a boat, big or small, for an hour or two or even up to a week or two. This makes a perfect
day out or holiday for people of all ages.

The United Nations recently outlined the extent of the global water crisis, saying that 2.7 billion people would face
severe water shortages by 2025 if consumption continues at current rates. Today, an estimated 1.2 billion people drink unclean
water, and about 2.5 billion lack proper toilets or waste disposal systems. More than five million people die each year from
diseases related to unclean water. Humans are pumping water out of the ground faster than it can be replenished. In this
difficult situation, a water conservationist, Neil MacLeod in South Africa, has found innovative ways to improve his local water
situation.
Neil MacLeod took over as head of Durban Metro Water Services in 1992. The situation he found was
a catastrophe. Durban had one million people living in the city and another 1.5 million people who lived in
poverty just outside it. The entire city was rife with broken water pipes, leaky toilets, and faulty plumbing
whereby 42 percent of the region's water was simply being wasted.
MacLeod's crews began repairing and replacing water pipes. They put water meters on residences, replaced
eight-litter toilets with four-litter models, and changed wasteful showers and water taps. To ensure that the poor would
receive a basic supply of water, MacLeod installed tanks in homes and apartments to provide 190 liters of water a day
free to each household. Water consumption in Durban is now less than it was in 1996, even as 800,000 more people have
received service. Through sensible water use, Durban's conservation measures paid for themselves within a year. No new
reservoirs will be needed in the coming decades, despite the expected addition of about 300,000 inhabitants.
MacLeod has also turned to water recycling. At the water recycling plant, wastewater is turned into clean
water in just 12 hours. Most people are unable to discern a difference between the usual city drinking water and the
treated wastewater, although it is actually intended for industrial purposes.
Some people still hope that new technology, such as the desalination of seawater, will solve the world's water problems.
"But the fact is, water conservation is where the big gains are to be made," says Sandra Postel of the Global Water Policy
Project. The dedication and resourcefulness of people like Neil MacLeod offer inspiration for implementing timely and
lasting solutions to the world's water concern.
